Horrible lawyer

This lawyer cheated me very bad. I paid him in full and he never did what he told me he was going to do. The mother of my child filed for a name change and I objected and did all the correct procedures. Mr Maline said he sub hired another lawyer to reschedule the case which did not happen at all. The... lawyer represented me which I never even got informed to the case, no email, no papers served everything done behind my back. The decision was granted to the name change do to the lawyer who represented me. Mr maline refuses to give me the information of the person who represented me. He completely ignores me nor will he give any info on my case. I have all evedince and communication of everything and I am seeking justice.

J.M.

I had a bogus charge that an officer filed against me and while it ended up being monetarily costly, the end result was that I was not convicted of it. I can not say if the outcome would have been the same or not if I had an appointed public defender, which is why I trusted Mr. Maline to represent me... and he was able to do a great job and have the issue squashed and dismissed..so now that cop can go f.o. and play detective with someone else (to put it mildly).

Best Attorney in the IE!

My family and I have used Mr. Maline's services for years! I had bad experiences with previous attorneys that claim to be the "Best." Mr. Maline cleaned up other attorney's messes and saved my life! Every single person that I have referred says nothing but great things about Mr. Maline and his staff.... He is a life saver!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
